This fascinating story of "Six School Girls" is as charming a story as
has been written for young ladies. The talented author has a great
reputation in England, and all her books are widely circulated and read.
"Faith Gartney's Girlhood" and "Margaret and her Bridesmaids" should
stand side by side in every young lady's book-case. Read what the
_London Athenaeum_, the highest literary authority, says of it: "We may
save ourselves the trouble of giving any lengthened review of this book,
for we recommend all who are in search of a fascinating novel to read it
for themselves. They will find it well worth their while. There is a
freshness and originality about it quite charming, and there is a
certain nobleness in the treatment, both of sentiment and incident,
which is not often found. We imagine that few can read it without
deriving some comfort or profit from the quiet good sense and
unobtrusive words of counsel with which it abounds."
The story is very interesting. It is the history of six school-fellows.
Margaret, the heroine, is, of course, a woman in the highest state of
perfection. But Lotty--the little, wilful, wild, fascinating, brave
Lotty--is the gem of the book, and, as far as our experience in novel
reading goes, is an entirely original character--a creation--and a very
charming one. No story that occurs to our memory contains more interest
than this for novel readers, particularly those of the tender sex, to
whom it will be a dear favorite.
We hope the authoress will give us some more novels, as good as
"Margaret and her Bridesmaids."
